Was this article written by AI? It's full of what seem to be overly specific references and is just really fucking weirdly paced and disorganized.

Xi understands that Trump is a stupid man and they think they can manipulate him into doing something stupid to advance their interests, which, honestly, they probably can, unless he just does something so stupid that it backfires. Everything's a gamble with Trump.

According to the protocol they share (ActivityPub) communities and hashtags are essentially the same thing, they're a grouping containing many posts. Typing out a hashtag is how you tell Mastodon to add your post to that "hashtag group" (and you can add your post to multiple hashtags). In Lemmy, the community you post in IS the group (and you can cross-post it to multiple communities). The result is the same. They're the same thing, just different ways of connecting your posts into them, and displayed in very different ways depending on which part of the Fediverse you're using.

Sounds like you're doing fine to me. The stakes are indeed higher, but that is because what you're doing is important.

As the Bene Gesserit teaches: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Make your best effort at security and backups, use your fears to inform a sober assessment of the risks and pitfalls, and ask for help when you need to, but don't let it stop you from accomplishing what you want to. The self-hosting must flow.

Hey don't make fun of him too much, he might have to buy another yacht to make himself feel better.

And most importantly what happens when the competition between many extra doordashers drives down pay (the mechanism for which is already built in to the way gig work pays by the gig, fewer of which will be split between more drivers) means even the people working for doordash can no longer afford lunch?

This is not sustainable in the slightest. We are using bubbles to cushion our falls from other bubbles as they pop. It's bubbles all the way down. We're in a recession, maybe a depression, hard to say because there are so many bubbles we haven't even reached the ground yet.

The problem is that society has been much too polite with these shitgoblins. I think we should end polite society entirely and start being really thoroughly impolite.

So far, I think you're safe!

Will this become Lemmy's "test post please ignore"? I guess we'll see.

Probably, we've been functionally the 51st state for a long time, it's only Trump's clumsy attempts to close the deal that is finally making people aware of the fact. And our politicians lie straight to our faces about it, they do it while saying they aren't, while saying they won't, and they've done so for decades. Because they know we really don't want to be so attached to the US, but they do it anyway and if challenged just say it is necessary. Necessary for the US, maybe. Necessary for the politicians, maybe. Nice to see Canadians fight back and prove it is not necessary.

We should skip the whole world war step and go straight to Nuremburg 2.0, now improved with faster sentencing and harsher sentences for fascists and collaborators.

They have declared war on humanity. They will replace us with AI and rocket fuel as soon as they are able to.
